Hi,
house was built in 1939.
I am renovating the fireplace and stripping back to the brick.
the fireplace used to have a new back boiler. It is now removed.
the cement between the bricks is black. Lots of this has been spread over the bricks in the fireplace, it has a very thin coat of black mortar.
I began chipping this away, but it got dusty, then I wondered if any of this plaster and cement had asbestos in it?
I’ve never heard of anything but artex having it in it in terms of mortars and cements and plasters.
can anyone put my mind at rest, I have a toddler walking round, just want to be absolutely sure for her sake.
Thanks.
